The applicant, charged with firearms offences, brought an application for a stay of proceedings alleging a breach of his s. 11(b) Charter right to be tried within a reasonable time.
The total delay was below the 30-month presumptive ceiling for cases tried by indictment.
The court deducted a period of defence delay, bringing the net delay to 27 months.
The court found that the case did not take markedly longer than it should have, considering local conditions in the Toronto Region.
The application was dismissed.
